Lerato Sengadi has criticized EFF’s Mbuyiseni Ndlozi for disrespecting former public protector Thuli Madonsela, saying he couldn’t preach about respecting women while being rude to an old man.
Thuli sparked a huge debate on social media on Monday when she weighed in on an ad by health and beauty retailer Clicks that labeled African women’s hair as “dry and damaged” and white women’s hair as “fine and flat.” . While the retailer removed the ad and apologized, the EFF held protests at Clicks stores across the country on Monday.
TimesLIVE reported that nearly 40 Clicks stores were affected by the protest action, with five people arrested in connection with the destruction of a Clicks store at the Lemon Tree shopping center in Alberton.
Thuli claimed the ad was a “textbook case of unconscious prejudice ”that needed to be denounced, but“ anarchy and violence undermine the cause ”.
Mbuyiseni responded to his comments, saying that he should “fin the nearest hell ”and the party did not need the approval of its“ bogeyman logic ”.
Lerato was furious at the former EFF spokesperson’s tweet, calling it “absolutely rude.”
“ANDYou can’t preach about respecting women and then respond to an old man like this, in such a disrespectful way. “
She said that even if he did not approve of Thuli’s comments, he should at least be respectful.
“Even if you do not agree with her position and opinion on this, this is absolutely no way to address her. Do better, Abuti. Its not this! “
